Half the time though you can't go by the size because of the vanity sizing the companies use. So the same person can wear anything from a 2 or 3 up to an 8 or 10.

My shopping is about half and half. I have a WalMart and several grocery stores close by, so it's easy to pop out and get the essentials. But for a lot of purchases, I save money by shopping online. I'll watch prices and buy when they drop if I can wait for the item, if not, I'll shop around and see who has the best price.

Sadly, it usually ends up being Amazon.



Why sadly? What's wrong with Amazon? I heard someone make mention of Amazon the other day like it was a bad company? I think they are great.

It really depends on what we're talking about as far as ordering online.  Since I work in a grocery store I pick stuff up often...although now that I'm riding my bike I'm not as often... bout once a week now.  We do however purchase much of our supplies online for business's.   We purchased our washer and dryer online.  Shipping was free and the guys even carried em' down to the basement.  It's really great how much online shopping we can do.

If I were home all the time I think I would prefer to buy things online even stuff like paper towels and tp and other essentials. I am starting to hate our local Walmart. But they have the best prices.

I am disabled & have more than just a little trouble getting around.  I order almost everything online and most of the time am happy with it -  sometimes with clothing the fit could be better but recently I ordered a trashcan to put wash cloths in until I had a whole load. Oh I wish you could see how tiny this is it might hold two washcloths and that would be pushing it LOL. Oh well will use for tissues by my bed. Do you order much online or prefer to go out shopping?

Why didn't you return it since it was not what you thought?

There are only a handful of things I would buy online. I really prefer to buy in store so I can see what I'm actually buying. Everything can LOOK really good and then when you get it you realize it's not what you were looking for.

I don't order a whole lot online, but will occasionally do order some items.  I enjoy getting packages in the mail and opening them up.

I buy a lot online.   Still go to the grocery store but I have ordered groceries online.  I love Amazon, especially since I work so many sites that pay in Amazon gift cards.   Like someone else said I save enough money in gas to cover the cost of Amazon Prime.  Last Christmas, if I remember correctly, I made all Christmas gift purchases online.   I love the convenience of online shopping.

Since our K-mart closed, I find I am ordering  more online then before. We have to drive anywhere from 80 miles to 150 to do most of our main shopping. so if it is just a few things I need I will order as it cost more to drive over then I save, But when we do have to go for medical  reasons mostly. I stock up on meats and large items like laundry and such. the all I have to buy here is fruits and veggies and now the farmers market is open on Sat. and Tue. evening I can get a lot of fresh items there.  Oh well living in a rural area is still better then a big city. Besides I have to be here to take my father  to the doctors and stuff.

I like to shop online, it's a lot easier than going out and I can get more discounts.

I order at least eighty five percent of everything on line. I still need to go to the grocery store for fresh produce and get my running shoes from an Asics representative who lives in the neighborhood. I started weaning myself of shopping about five years ago. I did not like going to the malls at Christmas because of crowds, lack of inventory, non-existent parking, the cost (in time and gas) of driving to the mall, rude sales people to name a few. I started buying things on line, became hooked, have not been to a mall in two years, and purchased an Amazon Prime membership last year. So excited to be part of my first Prime days on the sixteenth of this month. Last year I was done with Christmas shopping bu October thirty first and am aiming to be done by September thirtieth of this year.

I love to shop online.  I belong to Amazon Prime and the yearly cost far outweighs all the free shipping I get, plus the other benefits of Prime.
I just signed up for Prime .. I'm hoping their prices are good so I can do more ordering online.

I'd like to use Prime... but the price is making me balk, and I don't shop at Amazon for anything beyond books these days.

Maybe at some point I will, but for now, I'll stick with the lures of a free month now and then. 8)

I don't order things online, cause you never get what you ordered, it may or may not fit, or don't look right, then it's a waste of time and money, so I would rather go into a brick building to get my things.
